Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta Gets More Details and Screenshots

Fallout 3 was one of last year's biggest games, managing to combine some great role playing game mechanics with shooter elements and delivering one of the most cohesive experiences of recent years to gamers all around the world.

This experience will now get even richer, as Bethesda has announced the latest batch of downloadable content for the game, the fifth if you're keeping score, Mothership Zeta. Set to move the game into a whole different perspective, the add-on will have the Lone Wanderer receive a mysterious signal and be teleported onto an alien ship.

This is where the main character will have to ally himself with other wastelanders from preset or from the Earth's past, in order to escape the aliens, which don't have good feelings regarding the blue planet, now bombed up beyond any recognition.

Most importantly, the new DLC will add new things, like weapons, in the form of the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and new outfits, like a Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor.

Here are some of the key features that this new DLC will have:

-Find and exploit new and destructive alien technology, like the Alien Atomizer and Drone Cannon.
-Explore the vast Mothership and learn the secrets of the Aliens’ master plan.
-Thwart the Aliens’ attempt to stop your escape, and take over the Alien ship before it wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting Earth below.
-Fight against the Alien Invaders, their robot drones, and turn their own horrible experiments against them.
-Ally yourself with an unexpected array of characters, both from the Capital Wasteland and from Earth ’s past.

Overall, Mothership Zeta is certainly looking extremely interesting. Look forward to it on the PC and Xbox 360, while PlayStation 3 fans will have a long time to wait until the first pieces of DLC from the five already out will be available on the platform. Until then, you can look at these few screenshots from the new DLC.
